The journey’s spiritual crescendo will be found at Jageshwar Dham, an ancient Shiva temple steeped in history and legend, just 15 km from Gunji. Here, PM Modi will offer his prayers, marking another soul-stirring moment in a day filled with spiritual immersion.
But the visit wasn’t just about devotion and tradition. It was a holistic experience, where spirituality met development.
